There can be no doubt that each and every winner of the CFP has been the best of the 4 teams that competed each respective year. However, there can be no way of ever knowing if any of the winners were the best team in all of FBS. If Ohio State and/or UCF win their bowl games, doubt will inevitably be cast upon the legitimacy of this season’s CFP.
Is there really any doubt that Alabama and Clemson have been the 2 best teams over the last 3 years?
We're talking elite level.
Clemson is 43-3 over its last 46 - 3 losses by a total of 9 points.
BAma is 42-4.
I became convinced that Clemson is an elite football program when the tigers nearly upset Marshall.
Unfortunately, for Alabama and Clemson, neither has had an opportunity to prove itself in an inclusive 16-team playoff. I agree that one or the other would probably have emerged as the winner in one, if not both seasons.
If such an inclusive playoff was conducted under the auspices of the NCAA, and sanctioned by the NCAA, there could be no doubt as to its legitimacy.
